DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His films are dense visual compositions that explicitly reference Renaissance painting, classical art, and the history of Western aesthetics through meticulous framing and symbolic imagery.

 Jean-Luc Godard France

Throughout his career, he deconstructed the language of cinema itself while incorporating references to painting, photography, and the history of visual representation in avant-garde ways.
